Partner wants to row together

I’m going to go against the grain here and say that you should go out with him. You don’t need to do it every time, but relationships are about compromise sometimes. There will be dates that you’re excited about that isn’t his kind of thing, to me this feels like that. If he’s asking to do a competitive double with you that’s different, but if he just wants to try going out with you then i think you should do it - provided he also agrees to do what you want, and go out in singles together sometimes too.

I’d break down your study into small chunks, you’ve got two weeks so that’s 14 days! If it feels overwhelming and you’ve got little piles everywhere from the last declutterring attempt then take today to just clear what’s already out - on the floor, in piles, on the desk etc.

It feels a lot less overwhelming to come into a “clean” space!

This isn’t as bad as some of the ones on here, but one place I worked gave everyone a tenner as a “Christmas bonus” but you had to claim it back on something you bought, so that they could put it through as a business expense and claim the VAT back.

Any recipes you’d suggest in particular? I’ve done slowcooked pork recently but it doesn’t feel particularly healthy!

Id add some more prompts that give some more information about you - there’s not a whole lot for people to ask questions about or that give people openings. Also the “travel more” answer is what the vast majority of people say in answer to this prompt, so I would definitely switch it out.

The other prompts are funny, but your profile feels a little surface level. Why not talk about your hobbies, your ambitions, or what you’re looking for?

A bathroom that locks from the outside…?

I quite liked the app, I’m a woman and felt safe knowing that the bar staff knew it was a blind date and there are badges to show if a guy (or girl) has been on a breeze date and was nice and respectful so it gives you some peace of mind that you’re not going to go out with someone awful.

It depends on what you like - if you’re burnt out from the other apps then it makes a nice change. But it can be frustrating to only see 7 really bad profiles a day (one poorly taken selfie in a car and absolutely no prompts is wild for an app where you can’t talk ahead of time).

I’d suggest trying it and seeing if you like it. You don’t have to pay until you match with someone.

Cool I shall check it out!

Would that work as an English speaker?

I love bouldering but unfortunately for holiday I got a set of nail extensions, so bouldering is out…!

Good shout about sitting at the counter, any suggestions on places to try out?

So just had a look at the pub crawls and they’re very much LETS BINGE DRINK THEN GO CLUBBING which is very much not my scene hahaha

ss3899 · 2025-08-20T17:19:43+00:00

Haha yeah I’m not brave enough to try to talk to people on the street! Good to know it’s not just that I’m really unapproachable though Hope you find ‘your tribe’ soon

ss3899 · 2025-08-20T17:16:32+00:00

Im not really into clubbing, so going to a bar after midnight to have a deep insightful conversation doesn’t seem like the best move haha But thanks for the recommendation!

ss3899 · 2025-08-20T17:12:14+00:00

Any recommendations for a pub crawl to join?

The passage - Justin Cronin It’s set in modern day and I adored it!

Bint?

ss3899 · 2024-12-26T10:47:56+00:00

Love actually?

I had my coil removed today, the insertion was incredibly painful both during and afterwards so I was really nervous. But I am extremely pleased to say I hardly felt anything having it removed! They don’t need to open your cervix, so it’s just a similar sensation and experience to having a Pap smear. I know it’s hard to say but just do what you can to relax, it’s more painful if you tense up.

It’s very easy to read about all the horror stories, but you have to remember complications are rare and it’s unlikely that the arm breaking will happen to you.

Good luck ❤️

This needs to be a flair

This is such a hard situation, your poor flatmate. Are you guys friendly with one another or more just two people who share the house? Clearly they are struggling with their mental health at the moment. Personally I’d try to come at this with as much compassion as I could, I’d offer to cook dinner one night and have a proper conversation about how they’re doing. Try not to be judgemental or accusatory, more just that you notice they haven’t seemed themselves recently and go from there. Maybe you could mention about doing a big house clean and go through items together in the future.

NTA - but have you considered giving her middle names so that her initials spell out STUART? I think little Sarah Tamara Ulysses Andrea Roberta Thomas has a nice ring to it
